Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- While direct media subsidy schemes are under increasing pressure in media markets across the world the role of indirect tools, such as media taxation, is coming into focus. This paper studies the development of VAT as an indirect subsidy to the press. It does this through three longitudinal case studies of newspaper VAT development in Finland, Sweden and Norway. Though the states officially rarely acknowledge the value of the VAT benefits for the newspaper industry, this paper demonstrates how indirect subsidies have continued to grow in economic importance despite decreasing newspaper circulation. The paper suggests that this development is in line with a general move of the Nordic media systems toward the liberal model. Through a cross-country comparison of the differences in policy outcomes and their antecedents, the analysis identifies the role of two influential drivers – the driver for additional state revenues, and the driver for platform neutral solutions that promotes fair competition and innovation in the area of cultural products.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Media policy schemes around the world are seemingly shifting character. As budgets for direct subsidies are under increasing pressure, the role of indirect tools, such as tax reductions, are growing in relative importance. This article explores the political justifications of value-added tax (VAT) as a media policy tool, and how longitudinal shifts indicate broader changes in the media systems. Based on a document analysis of newspaper VAT development in three countries with similar historical policy models—Finland, Sweden and Norway—the article identifies and describes the dynamics between four major policy positions; transparency, pluralism, harmonisation and financial austerity.
